"Nothingness"...

Not open for further replies.
Wow! I am getting my insiriational fill tonight. Thank you for the wonderful story. I wish these teachings(and a lot of other eastern philosophy) were part of our children's mandatory curiculum. There truly is a materialistic fixation in the west, that keeps a lot of us from understanding and attaining true happiness.
Keep sharing these insights they can only make us stronger!

Noodle,
Sometimes I wrestle with a small unexplained "nothing" in my life. I feel like a failure when I attempt to fill the nothing with a trivial "something". I'm not unhappy, I'm very blessed, but still there's this little nagging nothing.
Thank you for posting this...It shows me that sometimes nothingness can be beautiful.

I find that my creativity at times feeds off of this nothingness. Interesting.....my sweet....interesting.
Hugs,
Caress
 
It's literature like that this that give me the strength to accept harsh realities sometimes.
Noodle...I've decided that you are my Karmic Bluelighter. Don't ask me to explain that

Thank you for chosing the stuff you do.

Yeah, yeah, yeah--thanks all for the thanks and good words.
I suppose--naw, I know--that I put up things that I need to work out in my own mind space; Here and in Social. Even all of those pseudo conversations with my- self and others.
I had been feeling a certain unnatural connection, over-emotional for sure, with a lot of personas on this message board thingy.
Most of it had been positive at first, and then I let a big to do about nothings and for nothings occur between myself and meself and anyone that read like a me--like a past tense me even--cloud my better judgement and perception.
Whew...
I'm going to split this place for a little while. ( I think I can... I think I can... I think I can...

) Just because I'm getting all worked up needlessly offline about this online meeting place. I shouldn't care so much about things and people outside of my true sphere of influence.
I didn't want to admit this empty nothing-space at the core of my being.
I need to adress my feelings more directly instead of projecting and superimposing their shapes over cookie dough that does not care, obviously.

I might change my cover/moniker upon my return. Ummmmm....
Much love and cookie monsters
with much milk and chocolate syryp
mixed all thru out,

The brightest flame burns out the quickest.
Once the high of an audience wears off, many try to find something they can bring home with them. Many latch on to introspection and self-assessment, primarily because the hollow praise and distorted views of others are non-palatable.
Know this. Bluelight is a drug. If you search too hard for substance, you will often be disappointed. If you approach it with no expectations, you will often be pleasantly surprised. If you take it in moderation, you will not burn out.

You bring up the level of intellect on this board immensely.

ME and I are scratchings their heads, *scratch* *scratch*
...thinking they are both at a loss to understand all these silly billied conversations had all virtual public like.
You all should keep the debate at home place, yes? You folks are weird.
wink.gif
Weirder than an I or like a ME even.
*scratches head and wonders how my birthday will be*
*wonders?*
I was not at all offended by your statement dude.
I just didn't understand how "double entendre" would be "a" sign of a weak mind.
Or why you would post your indirect statement here on this thread.
You never really elaborated upon your curt statement in a plain and direct manor.
Are we all choosing our camps now then there
kiddies?
wink.gif

Tis strange how this messege board thingy has affected so many through its intercommunication loops...

You two need to be civil and take this off of the board where it belongs; I mean really now.
I'm not bent.
Be better than all of this public posturing will ya'?
I promise to be more civil too, and drop a lot of this virtual rusing behind and away--water flowing under the bridge
smile.gif

When I return next...

Thank you Noodle for the reality check. I apologize for allowing a beautiful thread like this turn into an off topic personal debate.
I've also realized that it is neither worth my effort nor time to get into a dialogue with XtremeInk on the boards..it's always more plesant to engage in plesanteries with posters who bring out goodness instead.
Apologies to all.
Loads of luvs,

PS- I've deleted all my "personal" posts.

Sorry, my mistake for not explaining myself. I was simply trying to say that IF you wish to insult me, THEN don't couch your words in "double entendre" so that later you can come back and say "oh, you misunderstood me, I wasn't addressing you" because you were afraid to say what you really meant. It's weak-minded to stab someone in the back and then try to deny that's what you were doing later. Thus, my statement.
You're right, Noodles, this is better offline. I have thus removed all of my personal posts to follow Writnpage's good example.
Sorry about this mess. Writnpage usually posts very uplifting messages, but she is in denial about her negative ones, including her initial comment in regards to my moderation or lack of it. Maybe I need a thicker skin.
Peace,
xtremeink
